Clarion River, PA, Oct 2009

Beside The River

River reflects trees
yellow, red, orange
nut smell in the air
leaves drift down

woods crackle, I
sit back against
a Maple searching for serene
I feel unrest

the river digs
down into earth
thoughts race in my mind
stop the thoughts

the river says
let go, be
I watch it, hear it
let go, be

    Your nature poems are always so good. I felt like I was there on that river.

    The ending is profound. We should all "let go, be."
